Bless your soul

Seuraava biisi on avan loistava, ja mun korvissa erinomainen klassikko. Tää oli sen verran kova hitti Ausseissa, ja ehkä täälläkin, ja paljon fiiliksiä on jäänyt mieleen tän biisin ansiosta.

GNARLS BARKLEY — CRAZY


Mä oon funtsinnut usein, että kuinka tärkeä osa mun elämää musiikki on. Todella tärkeä! Mä muistan päiviä, kun oon ollut ihan alla päin, ja yksinkertaisesti, joku biisi on pelastanut fiiliksen, ja päivä on rullannut siitä eteenpäin aivan loistavasti. Joku tarttuva biitti — ei enempää tarvitsekaan!

Biiseillä on myös tapana saada mut itkemään. Viimeisimmästä kerrasta ei ole edes niin kauan aikaa, kun rupesin vaivihkaa pyyhkimään yhtä krokotiilin kyyneltä metrossa matkalla treeneihin. No joo. Sattuu ja tapahtuu, ja fiilistelemisessä ei ole mitään väärää. Hah! Ehkä sitten ens kerralla treeneihin matkalle jotain rytmikkäämpää!

Gnarls Barkley — Crazy
I remember when
I remember I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place
Even your emotions had an echo
In so much space

And when you're out there
Without care
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much

Mmm!
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Possibly [radio version]
probably [album version]

And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that's my only advice

Mmmm
Come on now, who do you
Who do you, who do you, who do you think you are?
Ha ha ha, bless your soul
You really think you're in control?

Well,
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me

My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking, I wanna be like them

Mhmmmm
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done

But maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably

Excuses & reasons.

SAMANTHA JAMES - RISE


There’s still many things left untold I wanted to tell about. I wanted to reminisce a year gone by. I wanted to tell about my trips and things I’ve done in the past. I even haven’t had time to tell about my christmas, and the Pendulum weekend.

I feel the story is unjustified without a picture. A picture tells a thousand words, that’s why this whole blogging thing is so great. You can see, hear and that way even feel the story of the person telling it on so much more personal level. Perhaps identify with it, or at least think of it more accurately, just the way it may have happened.

So still waiting for the pics, and once I get them, you’ll definitely see them, too! I am off to run some errands and to meet up with my lovely, picture keeper gal, to do some shopping for NYE dresses! ;-)


Arrivederci!

P.S. Here’s the lyrics for the uplifting song above as well ;-)
P.P.S. This Blogger, or my Mac, or me, are keeping messin’ up with the measurements for the videos I keep on posting… will try to sort it out later on! Meanwhile, enjoy the sound and only teeny tiny screen coming with it! ;D

You should believe me
And everything I choose to do
You should believe that Ill
Always come back to you

Life is discovering
The love that we create
Life is a mystery
We need to embrace

In every way
You need to let go
Youll see all your dreams will follow
In every way
You need to let go

(Chorus)
People rise together
When they believe in tomorrow
Change the day to forever
This life keeps movin
(Repeat 2x)

Open your mind and see
We have everything we need
Dream or reality
Fulfill its destiny

In every way
You need to let go
Youll see all your dreams will follow
In every way
You need to let go

(Chorus)
People rise together
When they believe in tomorrow
Change the day to forever
This life keeps movin
(Repeat 2x)

You need to let go
You need to let go

(With instrumentals)
People rise
When they believe
Change the day
This life keeps movin

(Chorus)
People rise together
When they believe in tomorrow
Change the day to forever
This life keeps movin

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

"For the agony & for the irony, I'd rather know..."

BON IVER - BLINDSIDED


This song is such a beautiful gem! Some artists have great talent to deliver their message in a very subtle but real way. Here's also the lyrics:

"Bike down... down to the downtown

Down to the lockdown... boards, nails lye around
I crouch like a crow
Contrasting the snow

For the agony, I'd rather know

'Cause blinded I am blindsided

Peek in... into the peer in
I'm not really like this... I'm probably plightless
I cup the window
I'm crippled and slow

For the agony, I'd rather know

'Cause blinded I am blindsided

Would you really rush out for me now?
Taught line... down to trhe shoreline
The end of a blood line... the moon is a cold light
There's a pull to the flow
My feet melt the snow

For the irony, I'd rather know

'Cause blinded I was blindsided
'Cause blinded I was blindsided
'Cause blinded I was blindsided"
